How to read it
Summer heat and storms are what Rio watches for: from December to March, afternoon downpours can flood streets and loosen the steep hillsides, so the radar is worth checking before heading out. At Arpoador, the rock at the end of Ipanema beach, crowds gather to applaud the Sun as it sets behind the Dois Irmãos peaks.
Rio de Janeiro's longest day, around December 21, has 13 hours 33 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around June 21, has 10 hours 44 minutes.
Sunset in Rio de Janeiro comes earliest around June 5, at about 17:14, and latest around January 11, at about 18:43. That earliest sunset comes about 16 days before Rio de Janeiro's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Rio de Janeiro keeps the same clock all year (America/Sao_Paulo), so its sunset drifts with no jump.
Rio de Janeiro's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 45 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 50 minutes.
